Hap-Ki-Do
Our Hapkido program is an eclectic style of martial art. Hapkido being the foundation for the style it is comprised
of many influences from different arts.
Hapkido is the Korean art of self defense. It is considered a "soft" art which means that it teaches to go with the
energy of your attacker as a foundation instead of meeting force with force.
Hapkido provides complete physical conditioning that improves balance, posture, flexibility, timing, speed,
muscle tone, joint strength and most importantly, confidence through physical and mental discipline.
Hapkido techniques consist of kicks, punches, joint locks, throws, grappling, ground fighting, weapons defense
& internal exercises.
We are members of the World Hapkido Association who provide a venue for competition that is fitting for our
style of Hapkido.
HAP-KI-DO: It is a discipline of coordination, a way of strengthening the mind and body, of fusing the individual
physical and mental powers so that he or she will emerge as a more fully integrated human being. The word in
fact means; Method or Way (DO) for the Coordination Harmony (HAP) or Mental Energy or Spirit (KI). One
should always try to avoid violence, but if someone grabs you, attempts to strike you, or physically assaults you
in any way, it has escalated beyond words, and you are left with the only option which is to defend. The Korean
Art of Self Defense, HAP KI DO is considered a “soft” style of martial art, as opposed to “hard” styles that meet
force with force. Through the use of pressure on skeletal joints and pressure points, very little strength is
needed to overcome an opponent.
